Wine No. 5 of the 8 x 2009 Cabernets we tasted blind. Brief notes. Colour of deep crimson. Loved the nose of violet and stalky notes - the oak present but in balance. A medium to full bodied palate. Again, a long life ahead. Ranked #4 out of 8 Cabernets on the day.

A bruiser of a wine. Very extracted and fruit driven. Needs several years to integrate the deep tannins. If drinking in 2016, give it several hours of air in a decanter.

There is almost no one that wouldn't judge this wine as a CA Cabernet in a blind tasting, even some Master Sommeliers. The 03 Le Petit Mouton is dark fruit (strong black plum), big caramel & vanilla, black tea, some star anise, super soft leather (near velvet), supple round elegant finish. 2003 is a ripe fruit driven vintage.
